Thank you for your reply. I am a beginner and trying to use this board and Quartus software. Can you tell me how I can write command for specific board ? If there is link to learn it, and you can provide me I will appreciate your help.  

 Thank you ..

I would suggest looking at a sample design as a starting point.

Thank you, I have already gone through that website but there is no specific information of .qsf file or how to allocate the pin or how to right command for .qsf file. 

 Thank you for your help !!

A .qsf is a Quartus settings file that is part of a Quartus project (defined by a .qpf file). As mentioned, download a "kit installation" file from that website and look at the example project. 

 If you are a true beginner, look at the hardware developers training curricula here and start working through the online training classes to get familiar with the basics:  https://www.altera.com/support/training/curricula.html

Then in the directory: s5_golden_top_restored you will find the file s5_golden_top.qsf which is the basic template .qsf file you are looking for. There is also the corresponding verilog top level file: s5_golden_top.v which goes along with it as the verilog top level project template.
